NBA Draft Profile: Why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander makes sense at 12 or 13 for the Clips

Many mock drafts have recently had the Clippers selecting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with the 12th or 13th Pick and I can see why.

Strengths

Shai has a 6’6 frame to be able to match up against any elite point guard in the NBA today. He is a relentless finisher as he knows how to get to the rim and finish. He can defend guards and forward with his height and quickness.

He has a very solid offensive game as he can get by you with quickness and finish any acrobatic layup. His euro-step was unstoppable at Kentucky and he knows to blow by defenders.
